In a European round of 16 knockout game, Belgium team defeated France, this result for many veterans may bring the opportunity to return to the international arena, including the 33-year-old captain Chiyun Dibny. After the match, facing the reporter's question, he appeared hesitant, but for the "golden generation" mentioned, he lost control of his emotions, to the reporter who asked the question directly called it "stupid".
Members of Belgium's "Golden Generation", including Chieuendibni, Chassat, Lukaku, Gobney and Widenhain, finished third at Euro 2018. However, the team exited the last World Cup at the group stage, and the last two Euro Cups have been underwhelming, stopping just short of the top 8 and top 16 finishes. The loss of the European Cup, including Chiyundibuni, Widham, Wiesel, Lukaku and other members of the "Golden Generation", facing the risk of four years later in the European Cup, difficult to wear the national team's uniform again.
Facing questions about whether to quit the national team, Chiyundibuni said, "It's too early to make a decision, I need to digest the pain of this defeat first. The season is too long, I need to take a break and then make plans in the summer." And when a reporter mentioned whether the decision of the "Golden Generation" to fail to enter the tournament was regrettable, Chiyundibuni asked emotionally, "Are you the 'Golden Generation' of England, Spain, Germany and France? Thank you!" The camera caught Chiyundibuni wringing out his hair after the answer and mumbling in a low voice, "Stupid guys."
